service and the kohen who offers the person's elevation offering the height of the elevation offering that he offered shall belong to the kohen so Cohen is allowed to eat part of kohen is allowed to eat part of Asha and kohen gets the hide the skin of the Allah offerings the Allah offering is burned on the Miss bear except the hide the the the the skin of the Ola offering goes to the kohen who performed performed the it's the offering now gift number four any meal offering that is baked in the oven and any that is made in a deep pan or upon shallow pan it shall belong to kohen Warfare it shall be his like we said before Kohan is allowed to eat the flower offering the minha offering after he burned part of autonomous so so far we have four gifts of the kohanim now in uh the shalamim offering that we're gonna learn now Cohen is gonna get another gift and we will see what it is now in the verse 11 we are speaking about shalamim and specifically about Corban Toda the Thanksgiving offering this is the law of the feast peace offering that one will offer to Hashem if he shall offer it for a Thanksgiving offering sorry and now let's speak briefly about what is a Thanksgiving offering under what circumstances a person is obligated to bring it and that is in four cases if a person travels through the desert and comes out safely desert is a dangerous place if a person travels over sees in the ocean and comes safe he has to bring Toda if a person is imprisoned or captured by foreign army and released from prison he has to bring Thanksgiving offering because being in a in a um in the hands of non-jews as a prisoner is very dangerous and finally if a person is sick if a person is dangerously sick for either he falls into bed meaning his bedridden and he's sick for three days it's that's considered a dangerous sickness the person can't go outside for three days then when he gets better he has to bring the Thanksgiving offering the Thanksgiving offering contains an animal as well as loaves of bread let's read about it he shall offer with the feast Thanksgiving offering unleavened loaves there are four kinds of loaves that a person brings together with the Thanksgiving offering and each kind comes with 10 loaves so all together the person brings 40 loaves of bread a lot of bread foreign loaves mixed with oil unleavened Wafers smeared with oil loaves of scalded fine flour mixed with oil and loaves of leavened bread shall he bring his offering so you see the fourth one is the eleventh bread 10 loaves of hamets the other 30 are unleavened they're matzah some are loaves some are wafers now verse 14 we speak about the fifth kind of gift to kohanim from it he shall offer one from each kind of offering apportion to Hashem it shall belong to kohen so Cohen gets one loaf out of the four different kinds and the other nine from each kind all together 36 loaves are eaten by the person himself with his family and his friends and the reason why he has to bring so much bread and the whole animal is because we want him to invite a lot of people and tell them about the miracle that happened to him how he was in a dangerous situation and he came out of it so that they can give Thanksgiving gratitude appreciation to God not only that verse 15 gives a further time limitation to the offering and the Flesh of the feast Thanksgiving peace offering must be eaten on the day of its offering he shall not leave any of it until the morning which means offering regular peace offering can be eaten during the day during the following night and during the entire following day however this Thanksgiving offering can only be eaten during the day and night you cannot eat it anymore the following day that cuts out another 12 hours of eating it and that is also done in order to force the person to invite more people since he has to finish 36 loaves of bread in just today and tonight he has to invite a large company now turn to page 577. um the peace offering that is brought as a voluntary offering there are two kinds of voluntary offerings either uh neder like a a vow a promise or a nedava a donation um verse 16 in if his Feast offering is for a vow or a donation it must be eaten on the day he offered his peace offering and on the next day as well what is left over may be eaten this is a regular schlamim that can be eaten for two days and the night in between what is left over from the Flesh of the feast offering shall be burned in the fire on the third day and only on the third date it becomes notar left over and must be burned and if some of the Flesh of this Feast peace offering was intended to be eaten on the third day it is not acceptable which means if while slaughtering the animal or sprinkling its blood the person has the wrong thought in mind and he says I know that I'm not allowed to eat this offering after the second day but I want to eat it anyway if he has a forbidden thought in his mind that he is planning to eat this offering after its deadline then the offering becomes not Kosher even from the beginning and the one who offers it may not intend this it remains rejected and the soul that eats it shall bear its iniquity and there is a a punishment for anyone to eat it a caret so what is the difference between a vow and a donation a vow means I take it upon myself to bring let's say shalamim offering a peace offering I take it upon myself therefore if I separate a cow and I bring it to the betamic dash and while we are walking a car runs over this cow and kills it has the shalom am I obligated to bring another one yes because I took it upon myself I have the responsibility and until I fulfill that responsibility I have to bring a new animal however if it's a donation I say this cow I would like to give to Beta mikdash as a peace offering and we're walking with this cow and a car runs over it and the cow dies am I obligated to bring another cow as a peace offering no because I said I'm gonna bring this cow it's a donation and if something happens it's not my responsibility to replace it okay now we learned about nether as well as notar what's left over cannot beaten after and pigul pigul is rejected offering if a person has wrong thought at the time of slaughtering it or sprinkling it okay now verse 19 we learn rules of eating the offering in a state of purity you're not allowed to eat an offering if a product if the kohen is impure the flesh that touches any contaminated thing may not be eaten whether the kohen is impure or the flesh is impure let's say the coin is pure but a dead mouse fell on the meat of a peace offering the meat of the peace offering becomes impure and no one is allowed to eat it shall be burned in fire but of The Uncommon uncontaminated flesh any uncontaminated person may eat the flesh if the meat is pure and the kohen is pure then it is a Mitzvah to eat it and the person who is impure and eats offerings corbanod receives a caret excision punishment verse 21 if a person touches any contamination and he eats from the Flesh of a feast peace offering then that soul will be cut off from its people now we turn to page 579. we learn about the relive that we mentioned before the Forbidden fat Hashem spoke to Moshe saying speak to the children of Israel saying any fat of oxen sheep or goats you shall not eat now fat doesn't mean regular fat that we eat as I said there are two kinds of fat there is the total differentiates between kind of fat which is forbidden we also call it hard fat or sweat s-u-a-e-t and there is what's called in Hebrew Shuman which is a regular fat that is permissible for consumption so the hard fat the fat of the innards that that is usually offered on the Miss bear is forbidden for people to eat um however even though this fat is forbidden we can use it we cannot eat it but we can use it and verse 24 gives us this permission the fat of an animal that died the whole animal is forbidden including the fat and the fat of an animal that had been torn to death may be put to any use but you shall not eat it for example you can use the fat to make soap to make a shoe polish and so on but you cannot eat it again we're not speaking about permissible fat the permissible fat that is called Schumann can be eaten and eating fat carries a very severe prohibition not like non-koshamid forbidden fat is even worse it says anyone who eats the hell of the Forbidden fat of animal species from which one may bring fire offering to Hashem the soul that eats this fat will be cut off from its people the expression of animal species from which one may bring a fire over into Hashem tells us that this only applies to cows sheep and goats it does not apply to apply to wild animals that means if I catch a deer I can eat all of its fat even the fat that covers the innards and verse 27 teaches us about verse 26 prohibition of blood you shall not consume any blood in any of your Dwelling Places whether from fowl from birds or from animals any person who consumes any blood also receives death uh spiritual excision prohibition that soul will be cut off from its people so there are some parts of a non-kosher of not some parts of animals that are even worse than non-kosher meat a person who eats non-kosher meat is punished by lashes it's a negative commandment a person who eats blood receives spiritual excision of his soul a person who eats forbidden fat receives spiritual excision of his soul so we have to be careful even if the animal is kosher it was slaughtered properly but if the blood wasn't removed which means it wasn't properly salted that meat is forbidden or if fats the hell if was not removed for example if someone doesn't buy meat from the store but rather has his own private shahita or goes to a Slaughter store and they slaughtered it for him even though there is a shocked who Slaughters it properly but the meat is still non-kosher until you remove the Forbidden fats and the sciatic nerve which only the professional can do and it costs money and then you bring it home and you salt it properly but for which you need to learn laws you salt it and soak it properly only then you're allowed to eat the meat now we in verse 28 learn more details about shilamim peace offerings so far we learned about one kind of shall I mean um the the Thanksgiving offering and we learned about another kind of shilami vow or donation kind of offering um and now we learn about General verse 21 when one brings his peace offering to Hashem he shall deliver his offering to Hashem from his Feast peace offering with his own hands shall he bring the fire offering of Hashem the fat from the internet Atop The breast shall he bring the breast in order to wave it as a wave service before Hashem what happens with the fat the Cohen shall cause the fat to go up in smoke on the altar what happens with the breast and the breast of the animal shall be for our own and his sons this is the sixth give to kohanim that when a person brings shilamim part of what goes on misbeck and part of it the breast of the animal is given to kohanim you shall give the right thigh as a raised up give to kohanim as well this is the seventh the breast of it and the right thigh foreign page 581 verse 35 summarizes the gifts of kohanim that we mentioned so far this is the anointment portion of Haron and the anointing portion gift of his sons from the fire offerings of Hashem on the day he brought them near to minister to Hashem that Hashem commanded to be given them on the day he anointed them from among the children of Israel it is an eternal decree for their generation because kohanim were separated for the service of Hashem and they dedicate their life for it to represent us in front of Hashem that is why we as our thank you give these gifts to kohim as I mentioned before there are 24 gifts to kohanim so far we mentioned seven of them uh chapter 8. consecration of the quanim we mentioned that the um mishkan the Tabernacle was inaugurated on the on the first day of Nissan rosholes Nissan that's coming up in two weeks however for seven days before the inauguration procedure started for seven days they were doing um the consecration of the kohanim preparing them and Moshe was serving in the mishkan for seven days as and then on the eighth day on the first day of Nissan himself became the coin gadol and his sons became the kohanim so we are learning now what happened during these seven days Hashem spoke to Moshe saying take a Haron and his sons with it with him and their garments and the oil of an ointment and the Bull of the sin offering and two Rams and basket of madsod all these things are going to be used now gather the entire assembly to the entrance of the tent of meaning verse 5. Moshe said to the assembly this is the thing that Hashem commanded to be done Moshe makes sure that the Jewish people understand that Moshe did not choose aharon as as his uh um choice to be Cohen rather it was God's choice that Arun should be the kohen Moshe brought Aaron and his sons forward and he immersed them in water first step is kohanim have to go into the mix page 583 now he dresses Aron with his eight garments he plays the tunic upon him and girded him with a belt sash he dressed him in with a robe he placed the effort on him he guarded him with another belt of the effort actually that's part of the afford afford on its belt is number four he plays the breastplate upon him and inside the breastplate he put urinva to meme that's five he put the turbine the Hat upon his head and he put the seats the head played the golden head played on the on his forehead and he uharon was dressed in the pants as well these are the eight garments of coin gadol now anointment of coengador Moshe took the oil of anointment and Anointed The Tabernacle and everything within it thus he Sanctified them he sprinkled from it seven times upon the altar he Anointed The Altar and you then the labor the wash basin verse 12 he poured from the oil of an anointment upon aharon's head and he anointed him to sanctify him there's a different procedure described in a talmud how he poured the oil and how he spread it around his head and now the same procedure is done with the sons of Aaron Moshe brought the sons of our own forward he dressed them and they are dressed only in four garments in tunics girdled each one with a sash with a belt and wrapped the head dress upon them and of course they had the pants these are the four garments verse 14. now the inauguration offerings are mentioned he brought forth forward the sin offering Bull aharon and his sons leaned their hands upon the head of the sin offering bull he slotted it put the blood on the on the altar he took the innards burned him on the on the miss bayach and the rest of the bowl they took outside of the camp and burned the entire thing um Verse 18 now they bring the RAM for the so the the bull was for hattad sin offering the ram is for Olaf for elevation offering Verse 18 then he brought near the ramp for the elevation offering they leaned their hands on it this they slaughtered it put their blood on the altar verse 20 he cut the ram into its parts and Moshe burned uh the head and its parts and the fats on the altar he washed the innards and the feet with water and he burned the entire thing on the altar as well as an elevation offering and now in verse 22 we read about the ram of shalamim a peace offering Ram then he brought near the second ram the inauguration RAM and Arun and his sons leaned their hands upon the head of the ram page 585 he slaughtered it and Moshi took some blood and placed it on the and here we do something interesting with the blood Moshe took the blood of the inauguration realm of peace offering and put the blood on the middle part of Aaron's right ear upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the big toe of his right foot and he did the same for aharon's children they he took the innards and the fats and he put the he took the basket of matsod he put the the um the fats and the innards on Aaron's children put the basket of Wafers on top of it and they waved them and afterwards he burned them on the Miss bear and verse 29 says Moshe took the breast and waved it as a wave service before Hashem from the realm of the dedication it was a portion for Moshe as Hashem had commanded Moshe we mentioned before that uh the breast of schlamim offering goes to kohen since the first seven days Moshe was the kohen he received the breast of the the ram of the inauguration now verse 30. oil sprinkling and blood sprinkling Moshe took from the oil of an ointment and some of the blood that was on the Altar and he sprinkled it upon Aron and his vestments so they sprinkle besides the anointment oil that was put on Aaron's head now they take the oil and the blood that was from The Altar and they sprinkled the oil and blood on aharon in his vestments and upon his children verse 31 Moshe said to Haron and his sons cook the flesh the remaining flesh of this peace offering Ram at the entrance of the tent of meeting and there you shall eat it and the bread that is in the basket of the inauguration offerings as I have commanded verse 33 and you shall not leave the entrance of the tent of meeting for seven days until the days until the day when your days of inauguration are completed for you shall be inaugurated for a seven day period now we go to page 587. as he did on this day so Hashem had commanded to be done to provide atonement for you at the entrance of the tent of meeting shall you dwell day and night for seven day period and you shall protect hashem's command so that you will not die for so have I been commanded and now the final verse 36 aharon and his sons carried out all the matters that Hashem commanded through Moshe this concludes parashad happy sushant Purim shabbat shalom um
